Mom, on your birthday I want to slow down long enough to say what I usually rush past: thank you. Thank you for the patience you showed when I had none, the faith you kept when mine wavered, and the quiet thousand small things that make you the home I always come back to. Happy birthday — I love you more than I'll ever fit into a card.
Happy birthday, Mom! Officially you don't age — you just level up. Same gracious smile, same magical fridge, same superpower for knowing exactly when I haven't eaten. Love you forever.
Happy birthday, Mom. Of all the wild and precious things this life has handed me, you are the one I keep coming back to. Thank you for being home.
Happy birthday, Mom. You loved me into the person I'm still becoming. The patience. The corrections offered as questions. The thousand small kindnesses I only really notice in retrospect. Whatever I make of this life, the credit is yours. Whatever the world makes of me , you started it. Today is yours, and so is my whole quiet gratitude.
